The upcoming Blood Drive is an opportunity for students and faculty to donate blood. The American Red Cross will be at Law and technicians will meet with potential donors, go over some health-related questions, and test their blood pressure, pulse, and iron levels. If everything checks out, they then proceed with the blood collection process. Advocate News Editor Alexis Broderick interviewed Keyettes advisor Mrs. Hull about this year’s drive.
